Theme Parks

My little man is obsessed with penguins. He has been ever since I can remember. We have penguins in all shapes and sizes. Including full on flannel penguin bed sheets, pajamas, necklaces, cups, plates….you name it, we’ve got it. When he grows up, he…surprise, surprise…wants to work with penguins. And be a BMX biker. He’s…

The company I work for is very generous. Once a year, they organize a Family Fun Night, where they buy out a theme park just for park employees. This year, it was Universal Islands of Adventure. We love the park, and my kids are finally both at the age where they can ride almost everything.…

The following is a blog/movie review written by my 9-year-old son. He was lucky enough to go to the Disney Parks Blog Oz meetup this weekend. Participants got to see the new movie, “Oz the Great and Powerful” before it opens to the public on March 8. There are spoilers – so you’ve been warned!!!…

My friends k now me so well. Within a few hours of the news Monday that Tina Fey was at Walt Disney World, I had no less than 10 people ask me why I didn’t drive down and immediately search her out. The answer is simple…I’m an idiot. Think about it – you see your…

Television actually written by writers! Shows like Homeland, Downton Abbey, The Good Wife, 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, The New Girl, Parenthood. Quality shows that people actually spend time writing and researching. Reality television is the downfall of humanity. I’m convinced. Often times, I wish I had become a television writer. Or, wish I could…

I’ve talked before of my love for Splitsville, the bowling alley/swanky food place in Tampa. We have long said there should be one in Orlando – and my husband even said it should open at Downtown Disney like 10 years ago! Well – it has finally arrived in Orlando – and at Downtown Disney!! He’s…

I play favorites, and the Disney/Pixar ‘Cars’ movie is one of my all-time favorites. I have yet to make it out to Disneyland to see the new Cars Land, so this is as close as I’m going to get to Cars at the moment. If/when we stay at the Disney Art of Animation Resort, I’m…

I finally made it over to the new Disney Art of Animation Resort at Walt Disney World. Let me just say, if you are a lover of Disney animation, especially Pixar, you have to go. I’m pretty confident this could become my family’s favorite resort. Now we just have to stay the night!! I have…

There’s nothing like Christmas at Walt Disney World. One of my favorite holiday traditions, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Back in 1998, I actually worked at the then named Disney-MGM Studios while on the college program. I worked merchandise in various stores along New York Street. I actually have…

I’m starting to really get into the holiday spirit this year. If you need help, check this out. Right now, Neil Patrick Harris (my boyfriend since his Doogie days when I had his Tiger Beat posters hanging over my bed…) is at Epcot as the narrarator of my favorite holiday event, Epcot’s Candlelight Processional. We’ve…
